The IT Cosmetics color products are all really amazing – the formulas deliver, the color lasts, and somehow you always look really refreshed after applying… So I’m curious to see how the skincare performs.

Confidence In A Cream, which you can snag at QVC, is designed to combat signs of aging (fine lines and wrinkles), as well as to improve radiance and hydration. The one thing I am not particularly fond of is the ghastly=long list of ingredients! Non-Comedogenic is important to me, as is being able to siphon through the contents of the list quickly…so I’m a bit put off by that aspect.)

The packaging reminds me of Perscriptives…very apothecary prescription-like. Generally the aim there is to bring to mind a dermatologist’s office, giving the feel of something luxurious that works.

I’m eager to see reviews for this, though I’m not sure I will be purchasing myself.

Blurred Lines Smooth-Fill Lipstick retails for $24 – I hope this makes it to Ulta sooner than later so I can swatch it! As I’ve mentioned, my lipstick wearing is typically relegated to performances (Ballroom dancing, skating many moons ago…) but I love it all the same!

Like this:

It Cosmetics has quite the following, with certain products taking center stage. Bye Bye Pores Loose Powder is definitely right up there with It‘s concealers as a best seller…but now…hallelujah…there’s a PRESSED version!

The introduction, such that it is, is a wee bit long – Bye Bye Pores Pressed “It Makes Your Pores Disappear” Airbrush Silk Pressed Anti-Aging Finishing Powder – but I guess It (as in, the Company) wants to fit it all in there! Ageless, poreless, flawless…you know, all of that.

There are so many products to choose from these days, but if you love the loose version, it is worth giving this one a try. I personally love ANYthing that I can throw in my bag and not worry about, or that I can travel with – compacts make Life a WHOLE lot easier in that way.

The Ulta near me doesn’t tend to have new products out that quickly, so generally I see them online well before. I would much rather try something in person, so as to see the texture, pigmentation, and finish for myself… But this is an example of something I might snag just because I know the loose works already. Loose powder is a whole lot of fun, and kind of glam…but with all the running around I do, I really appreciate when a Company presses a few! 😉

It Cosmetics DEFINITELY has some cult products, and honestly…they ARE worth the praise. The Bye Bye Undereye Concealer is probably one of the most well known…and if you didn’t know, they are posting a “new” waterproof version. As a female athlete, that’s great news! (That said, not sure if it is completely different, as the former was also touted as waterproof.)

I think in generally the products really live up to the wear…and that is part of the issue with many other products and brands out there – They disappear after about two minutes! If you happen to live in a warmer climate, happen to vacation somewhere warm, or heaven forbid you need coverage but want to take a yoga class…it’s like a total nightmare! Enter long-wear and high quality cosmetics – thank you, It for delivering!

I just got an e-mail to tout one of the newbies, a brightening creme blush in “Naturally Pretty.” The name alone appeals to me because I am ALL for natural looking – I want my skin to show, just not my exhausted circles, or random skin issues. I think that’s what we ALL want.

So I haven’t actually tried this cutie, but the color looks amazing – often peachy shades look great on almost everyone because they mimic a natural, pinched-my-cheeks flush. Much fun some of the colors out there can be (guilty of buying them for dance performances just because they LOOK amazing or have a great name!)…they don’t alway look natural on.

This perk-up in a compact boasts “Peptides, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Niacin, Algae, Silk, Anti-Oxidants, and Drops of Light Technology”…so it also doubles a skin-loving “lit-from-within” glow, and who doesn’t want that too?!

I’m eager to see reviews, because the reality is…with fair skin, you can end up looking incredibly undead without a flush of some kind. Fortunately sports and lifting give me a reasonable glow most of the time…but when I am not active, it does make a marked difference in my seeming “peppiness.”
